Lu Xun Native Place is a historic district with white walls and black tiles in the ancient city of Shaoxing, where the literary giant Lu Xun spent his youth. Many sites related to his life are now concentrated here. Lu Xun's former residence is where he was born, and the Hundred-Grass Garden behind the house was his childhood playground. The vegetable plots, stone well railings, honey locust tree, and the short earthen wall mentioned in the essay "From Hundred-Grass Garden to Three-Flavor Study" can still be seen today. Not far away, the Three-Flavor Study is located within the Shou Family Terrace Gate, where you can see the desk Lu Xun used as a student, with the character "early" carved by him still visible on the corner. The district also includes the Lu Xun Ancestral Residence where his ancestors lived, a memorial hall displaying his life story, and the Lu Xun's Literary Scenes Garden that recreates the life scenes from his works. For those who have read Lu Xun's works, this place feels more like a "literary scene" you can step into: the Tugu Temple and Jingxiu Nunnery from "The True Story of Ah Q," the Changqing Temple where he was once a nominal disciple in his childhood, and the Hengji Pawnshop where the young Lu Xun often pawned belongings after his family's decline are all nestled among the streets and alleys. When tired, you can duck into the Xianheng Hotel, take a photo with the bronze statue of "Kong Yiji" at the entrance, order a plate of fennel beans and warm a bowl of Shaoxing wine to savor the slow-paced life of Shaoxing. The street also offers local snacks like stinky tofu, or you can board a wupeng boat and let the boatman row you through the waterways to see this ancient city from a different perspective.

Shaoxing Ancient City is an ancient city with a lot of cultural heritage. The white walls and grey tiles of the ancient city houses are well-preserved and do not have a strong commercial atmosphere. Cangqiao Street Historic District, Bazi Bridge Historic District and Lu Xun's Hometown Historic District are all good choices. The ancient city is surrounded by water, with criss-crossing rivers and known as the "ancient city floating on the water." Therefore, the boat with black awning is one of the most popular modes of transportation.

Shen's Garden

Shen's Garden, also known as "Shen's private garden," is a Southern Song dynasty private garden within the ancient city of Shaoxing. It gained fame through the story of Lu You and Tang Wan's reunion here, where Lu inscribed the poem "Phoenix hairpin." His later verse—"Beneath the heartbreak bridge, spring waves gleam green, once reflecting her fleeting grace"—was written about this very place. This tale of star-crossed lovers has made the garden a symbol of romantic longing for many. While original Song dynasty structures no longer remain, current pavilions were mostly reconstructed or expanded on their original foundations in recent decades. The garden's authentic antiquities include a Six Dynasties-era well and the Song-period gourd-shaped pond and earthen hill. Divided into three sections—historic area, east garden, and south garden—the compact site can be thoroughly explored in about two hours, with the historic area as the highlight. Visitors enter to find Taihu rocks engraved with "Poetic realm," marking the start of the tour. The left corridor walls display numerous stone inscriptions of Lu You's poetry, with wind chimes and wish-bearing wooden plaques hanging from eaves. Passing Plum inquiry pavilion and Eight odes tower leads to Six Dynasties well pavilion, where the adjacent gourd pond dates to the Song dynasty. Nearby, Solitary crane pavilion forms the garden's focal point, with visitors often pausing at the "Phoenix hairpin" stele south of it to softly recite verses and reflect on Lu You and Tang Wan's story. The south garden's Lu You memorial hall and Twin trees garden exchange melancholy for scholarly ambiance, exhibiting rubbings of Lu's calligraphy. The east garden, alternatively called "Garden of love," features a "What is love?"-engraved inquiry stone at its entrance, with heart-shaped Qiongyao pond, Magpie bridge, and other love-themed scenery perfect for couples to explore. Shen's Garden shines at night when lantern light casts an ethereal glow. The "Shen's Garden night" performance at Double osmanthus hall recreates Lu and Tang's story through Shaoxing opera, worth staying late for enthusiasts. Adjacent to Lu Xun's former residence just minutes away on foot, pairing daytime visits there with evening garden performances makes a classic Shaoxing itinerary.

Shaoxing Keyan Scenic Area

4.7/5

16.4k reviews

Shaoxing Keyan Scenic Area is located at the foot of Ke Mountain west of Shaoxing city, comprising three sections—Keyan, Jian Lake, and Luzhen Town—all close to downtown. Keyan forms the core attraction, having served as a quarry since the Three Kingdoms period. Generations of stonemasons carved mountains for materials, leaving behind diverse stone pits, caves, pools, and cliffs now divided into four main attractions: Stone Buddha, Mirror Water Bay, Yuezhong Celebrity Garden, and Yuanshan Garden. Among these, the "Divine Craftsman Great Buddha" and "Cloud Stone" stand out: the former is a 20-plus-meter-tall Maitreya stone Buddha carved during the Sui dynasty through three generations of stonemasons' century-long efforts, exuding grandeur; the latter soars over 30 m with a top-heavy, inverted pagoda-like form narrowing to a mere few-meter-wide base, yet has stood unshaken for millennia. Yuezhong Celebrity Garden showcases Shaoxing's historical figures like Yu the Great, Wang Xizhi, Lu You, Qiu Jin, and Lu Xun through stone carvings, while Yuanshan Garden features Tang-style architecture cascading along mountain contours—both worth leisurely exploration. Jian Lake, hailed as Shaoxing's "mother lake," has four lakeside attractions: Eastern Han Flute Pavilion, Nanyang autumn boating, Five Bridges moonlit stroll, and Gourd Drunk Isle. Visitors can stroll across marble causeway bridges or cruise on painted pleasure boats and black-canopied sampans to experience "floating through a mirror," with the Gourd Drunk Isle offering huangjiu tastings and opera performances showcasing local wine culture. Luzhen Town physically recreates Lu Xun's fictional setting, with flagstone streets flanked by black-tiled white walls, interspersed with traditional gatehouses, stone bridges, waterways, and opera stages. Street performances like "Xianglin's wife searching for Amao," "Ah Q's rebellion," and "Kong Yiji teasing children" allow interactive photo opportunities with actors. The typical route progresses sequentially through Keyan, Jian Lake, and Luzhen without backtracking, requiring half a day for thorough exploration.

Donghu Lake scenic area is small, but it's covered by a dense fog. This gives the lake a mystical feeling. The popular children's television series "Journey to the West (1982 version)" was filmed here. The lake used to be a quarry. The two sides of the strait are the steep cliffs left by the quarry. The mountain springs which washed out the quarry has left in its place an array of beautiful colors. There are also many caves, some of which are so narrow that they can only accommodate a single boat. Many visitors choose to travel the lake by boat.

What travellers say about Shaoxing

泛小辉26 September 2026

5.0

A rain shower brought a rare moment of clarity to the bustling scenic area; a guided tour brought life to the ordinary scenery; today we were very fortunate to have our guide, Ms. Xu, lead us on a tour of Lu Xun's former residence. Her explanations were clear and logical, and her voice was gentle and soothing. The entire journey, accompanied by intermittent rain, was truly a wonderful experience.

Lu Xun Native Place

爱吃酸奶蛋糕的豆腐20 May 2026

4.0

In Shaoxing, I visited Lu Xun's former residence, Sanwei Study, and then Chen Garden, all of which are very close by and within walking distance. The garden is small but exquisite, with swaying willows, clear ponds, and pavilions scattered throughout, exuding a distinctly Jiangnan (southern China) charm. The most memorable feature was the stele inscribed with the poem "Chai Tou Feng" on the wall; the characters were clear and conveyed the poignant regret of Lu You and Tang Wan. Compared to the throngs of tourists outside, strolling through this garden was far more enjoyable.

Shaoxing's representative Song Dynasty gardens are very close to Lu Xun's former residence, making it convenient to visit both on the way. Key attractions include the Hairpin Phoenix Stele, Gourd Pond, Broken Cloud Stone, and the Six Dynasties Well.

Anchang Ancient Town is an old market town, and you can still tell how prosperous it was in the past just by looking at it now. The shops are packed together, displaying a dazzling array of goods, and several stone bridges connect the two banks of the river, where crowds of people come and go. When you get tired of walking around, you can sit at a bamboo table by the river, brew a pot of tea, have some snacks, and enjoy a rare moment of tranquility.

I traveled alone from Tangshan, Hebei Province, to Shaoxing and then to Keyan. I fell deeply in love with this landscape. Having visited over a hundred scenic spots across the country, Keyan ranks among the top.

East Lake isn't very big. I specifically went to experience the traditional awning boat ride, but it was incredibly crowded during the holiday. I waited in line for about an hour, and the boat ride itself was only about ten minutes – a nice experience overall. The only downside was the crowds. The scenic area has many trees; an hour is enough to walk around the whole area.

Lanting, centered around the "winding stream party" tradition, boasts a tranquil bamboo grove and meandering stream, evoking the idyllic scenery of a Jiangnan garden. White geese swim in the Goose Pond, and the Goose Pond Stele is said to be a joint work by Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi. The Lanting Stele Pavilion bears the two characters "Lanting" in the calligraphy of Emperor Kangxi; inside the Imperial Stele Pavilion, Kangxi's copy of the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" and Emperor Qianlong's poem are engraved on the same stele, a rare sight. The Wang Xizhi Ancestral Hall contains an ink pond and stone inscriptions of the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" from various dynasties. The calligraphy museum offers further insights into the transmission of the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" and the calligraphy of the two Wangs. A guided tour would be highly recommended.

Definitely worth a visit! The largest Buddha statue in Jiangnan, with its thousand-year-old grotto sculptures, is truly breathtaking. The mountains and forests are serene and imbued with a strong sense of Zen. There are also large stone carvings of Mi Fu's "Facing the Wall" on the cliff face, which are worth a closer look. The area isn't too noisy with tourists, making it perfect for a peaceful stroll.

It was quite fun; the scenic area is very large. We brought the adults and children together, entering from the South Gate, taking the elevator, a boat ride, a sightseeing bus, and then to the Fifth Sluice. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and the walk wasn't too tiring. It's perfect for a family trip; we even saw swings for kids along the way. The Fifth Sluice was a little smaller than I expected, haha. We didn't climb the four upper sluices because they require going uphill, but overall the scenery was still very beautiful and worth a special trip.

The Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall was first built in 1973. In early 2003, to restore the traditional appearance of Lu Xun's hometown, the exhibition hall, which was out of proportion with the surrounding environment, was demolished and replaced with the Zhou Family New Gate. The newly built memorial hall is located on the east side of Lu Xun's hometown. It is adjacent to Lu Xun's ancestral residence to the east, the Zhou Family New Gate to the west, the Zhu Family Gate to the north, and Dongchangfangkou to the south, facing the Shou Family Gate across the river.
